"If something happened great ... they know where I am and I've chatted to certain people but nothing official."

FFA have assembled a four-person committee to recommend a new coach, with a goal of making an appointment within a fortnight.

Jeff Hopkins, likely to be this season's premiership-winning coach if his Melbourne Victory side can avoid defeat to Perth Glory next weekend, suggested he wasn't in the mix.

"Most coaches in Australia would look at the opportunity to coach the national team up the top of their list," he said.

"At the moment Melbourne Victory is my 100 per cent concern."

Juric said chatter about the merits of a male or female coach was immaterial and the primary importance should be an ability to quickly blend with the Australian squad with key lead-up matches looming.

"(It should be) the best person for the job. Someone that can handle personalities," he said before referencing Bert van Marwijk's underwhelming interim stint with the Socceroos.

"I know they're looking overseas (and that's fine) but as long as they understand Australians.

"We've gone through that with men's football and they've struggled when they've brought other people in so I think it should be an Australian."
